Princeton University has signed a five-year renewal of its strategic partnership with the University of Tokyo to further support collaborative research and teaching and boost interdisciplinary scholarship.

A delegation from the University of Tokyo, led by Executive Vice President and Professor of History Masashi Haneda, visited Princeton Dec. 3-4 to mark the occasion and continue to strengthen ties between the institutions. The universities’ strategic agreement was established in 2013. It is one of three strategic partnerships — along with Humboldt University in Berlin and the University of São Paolo — central to Princeton’s internationalization efforts.

“Our partnership with the University of Tokyo fosters the flow of ideas across national borders and enhances the international scope of Princeton’s teaching, research and service mission in profound ways,” said Aly Kassam-Remtulla, assistant provost at Princeton.
